The skin benefits of shea butter have been well and truly thrashed so at the risk of boring you, I'm not going to say anything further except this is 100% solid, fair trade, organic shea butter from Africa. Amazing.

Lesser known is that she's just launched a gorgeous new organic makeup collection under the moniker RMS Beauty - and I couldn't be happier to announce this latest addition to the world of organic & natural beauty! As a makeup expert she's often asked about brands she'd recommend, but having recently dealt with health issues & understanding the implications of toxic chemicals in our beauty products, she realized there were none. The resulting epiphany sparked the creation of this beautiful new color line that uses live organic ingredients, mineral colors and Rose-Marie's vast experience with makeup to produce formulations that actually work. There are no synthetics, petrochemcials, parabens or other nasties. In fact, there's no artificial anything. I've tried almost the entire line and every product delivered on expectations. Flushes of color for lips & cheeks, bursts of luminosity for skin, unstudied & natural eyes... and everything super densely pigmented so a tiny amount goes a loooong way. The packaging is elegant, simple, clean and everything is packaged in frosted glass which has the dual purpose of protecting the ingredients, as well as being able to be recycled. I'm a MAJOR fan and have no doubt others are lining up as we speak. Writer :: Emma Pezzack - www.futurenatural.com: the best organic beauty products in the world.

The choices for women have become saturated along with products for babies, not a bad thing when you consider how much impact natural & organic beauty brands are having in the market. However, the category aimed at anyone in between is usually the realm of glittery, plastic, petrochemical, artificial color & flavor, toxic makeup POISON. It’s a nightmare to find something not too adult and not too young with cool design and completely natural formulation. Not anymore! New brand on the block, ‘Good For You Girls’ is 100% natural with no toxic chemicals and nothing harmful. Plus the packaging is sooooooo cute. Designed specifically for young skin, the complete starter kit contains everything your daughter or BFF needs to put her best face forward! Good, clean, honest skincare and at only $24.99 for the set that includes Gel Cleanser, Toner & Moisturizer, you know what we’re thinking… just in time for xmas!

It is proof in a world where we are always looking for the next great innovation that natural ingredients and a kick-butt formula win every time. That’s why I love Farmaesthetics Nourishing Lavender Milk, which uses only eight ingredients to nourish, hydrate, and soothe skin, a true rarity in this day and age. While lavender works to scent and condition, soy and calendula simultaneously act to even skin tone and soothe skin that is damaged, chapped, or just plain sensitive. Not too heavy but moisturizing enough to last for hours, this gentle and non-synthetic formula can be used anywhere on skin or baby to provide a little bit of lavender scented softness. A true multitasker, Lavender Milk works just as well for use in massages as it does as an everyday lotion, due to its slippery texture. Girls in the know like Victoria Kirby, Beauty Editor at Allure Magazine, voted it one of her favorite beauty products. Simple and effective? More than that... a modern miracle. www.futurenatural.com: the best organic beauty products in the world.

Olive oil has been used for thousands of years for eating & cooking. And lest no part of this miracle plant go unnoticed, olive leaf extracts are one of nature's most potent antioxidants - up to 100 times more powerful than echinacea for boosting immunity. You can freeze it, burn it or cut it down, and the Olive Tree always reappears. The leaves stay on olive trees for seven years and develop a waxy coating for protection against harsh climate conditions that when scraped back, after all that time, reveal a bright-green, young leaf underneath! Conceived and created by Laurent Baussan, son of L'Occitane (no introduction needed) founder Olivier Baussan, the Oliv laboratories have found the secret to skin longevity in the olive leaf, then combined it with the moisturizing properties of green tea, edelweiss & aloe vera to produce this new organic skincare collection called Oliv. The concentrated and active organic complex provides the protection our skin needs from free radicals, but also helps to protect from cellular stress, stimulating cell regeneration. The Radiance Elixir is literally an elixir of life for stressed skins, the multitasking Lip & Eye Contour Treatment is highly effective, the Aloe Soothing Moisturizing Mist will be a must-have for these summer months coming up and the rest of the Oliv line is no less noteworthy for its potency. Certified organic & natural, this amazing new line is available exclusively at www.futurenatural.com: the best organic beauty products in the world.

As a discerning makeup user I'm extremely picky about quality, efficacy and application, so it was with a wary kind of excitement that I tried the new Organic Glam makeup collection from The Organic Pharmacy. The glossy black packaging is indeed glam (though I can't help be a little disappointed that it isn't more environmentally sensitive), and the makeup... let's just say 'impressive' is a word that springs to mind. The Luminous Antioxidant Foundation has a beautiful, light creamy texture that glides on giving good coverage but not so much that your skin feels 'made-up' and the finish it leaves is not matte, and not dewy either - in fact, it's kind of perfect. The Organic Glam Creamy Lipsticks are super creamy delivering good color pigment; the eyeshadows are luminous, shimmery minerals packaged in containers that have a soft sponge wand inside for controlled application (as opposed to the standard loose pots and brushes that leave your bathroom splattered with powder)... and the entire collection is made from organic and natural ingredients using mineral colors with no nasty preservatives. The price tag is pretty hefty in the US with the foundation costing around $60 for example, but some would argue perfection is worth it.

Whether it's sequins, glitter or a simple sheen, I'm often overheard oooing and ahhhing over just about anything with luminosity. Kind of unusual then that I'm newly smitten with the new Matte Velvet Nail Polish from Zoya, but they seem just right for the winter/fall season ahead. All the color, none of the shine and a deep, velvet finish that's completely new (and fashionable) - what's not to love! This non-toxic and natural nail polish allows you to go a little more green with your nail care products, without giving up your glam. Sure, they still contain some chemicals, but until someone develops a nail polish with organic ingredients (won't that be a great day?), having a nail polish option that is formaldehyde, toluene and dibutyl pthalate free is a fabulous step in the right direction. A note about how to apply these great new nail colors: make sure you clean the nail surface first and don't use any topcoat, basecoat or any other glossy nail treatment, or you'll ruin the lush velvety finish that this Matte Velvet Nail Polish is designed to have.

These are really handy. Now of course it isn't so green to use disposable wipes but sometimes a girl is on the go and needs to clean her face up a bit.

This is one of my favorite scents ever. Glides on smooth, soothing to chapped lips. Kinda thick so it lives up to the therapy part of the name. Not shiny but moisturizing (has a heaviness that stays for a bit).

I absolutely loove this concealer, i've been battling dark undereye circles since i was a kid and have tried a ton of concealers in all price ranges but nothing has wowed me. Well this item did, i was skeptical at first but once i tried I became a fan. It gives great coverage, it's smooth, you need just a little bit and it's cruelty free, vegetarian, and fairly natural. The concept of using fruit pigments is also very cool! Give it a try!

Believing that nature is the best source of beauty, their products are formulated with natural extracts and are completely free of harmful chemicals. Priced as affordable without sacrificing quality, I haven't personally tried the products but the line includes makeup, skincare etc... I also haven't been able to verify ingredients from their website, but I love that they're making the effort so that's why I bring them up. Just make sure if you swing by to check out the line, that you read the labels.

Eyebright is known to be soothing and relieve eyestrain so it can also be used as an eye treatment for tired, overworked eyes by soaking a couple of cotton pads, lying back and relaxing. It can also help with redness and irritation. I love products that multi-task and this is a gem.

A modern take on traditional hot stone massage, you can do with this stone what it would take years to train to do. It glides effortlessly over skin making it very easy to reach areas with the right kind of pressure. Use it different ways to vary the sensation - dome side down creates broad sensuous strokes and node side down gives multi-point stimulation. You can also and warm it up (in hot water) or cool it down (the the fridge) depending on what sensation you're after. It fits right in the palm of your hand and is super comfortable to handle. Genius!
